In boxing — and in some other sports where judges give points — to outpoint someone is to defeat them by scoring more points, not by knocking them out. The fight goes the distance, the judges add up the rounds, and one boxer has more. That is an outpoint win: a decision, not a KO. The word stays close to the ring. You would sound odd using it for a school test, even though tests have points too. Though actually, English has other “outpoint” lives (a bit of land that sticks out; a sailing use), but the sense you need here is the boxing one: more points on the card. Students who know point as “point a finger” can miss this completely; here point is the score.
以點數擊敗（拳擊等；不是擊倒）
組成out- (more than) + point (a score the judges give). From out- + point.
